A nice ride discovering the southwest coast of Sardinia: the Costa Verde. Forget the big tourist resorts, this area of Sardinia is still totally intact and keeps the marks of the mining economy, which flourished until a few decades ago. In the second part of the tour, we will ride on the two islands, San Pietro and Sant'Antioco, with their fishing traditions, and on the fabulous South Coast, famous for its beaches. The last evening we'll be in Cagliari for a shopping session and the celebration dinner.
